F.M. HUGHES DEAD
People of the community were deeply saddened Saturday morning of last week when it became known that F.M. Hughes, commonly known by many friends as "Fat", had passed away.
He was one of Friona's most popular young men and well known and liked by the people throughout the community, he having been engaged in the barber business here for the last several years.
Mr. Hughes was taken ill last Saturday, April 27th, with pneumonia and died at about 9:00 O'clock the following Saturday morning.
The high esteem in which the deceased was held was manifested by the large throng of sorrowing friends who gathered on Monday afternoon to pay their last respects in his memory at the funeral services which were held at the Maptist church and conducted by Rev. H.L. Thurston, pastor of the Methodist church, assited by pastors of other churches of the city. This esteem has further manifested by the large number of beautiful floral offerings that were in evidence at the funeral and burial.
The deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Hughes of this city, being one of a family of nine children, and was born in Shelby County Texas in 1910, and came with his parents to Parmer County in 1922, where he has resided the greater part of the time since. He was married in 1929 to Miss Lorene Whatley, to which union no children were born.
Besides his parents, he leaves four brothers; Buford, S.N., E.M., and Paul Hughes, and four sisters; Mrs. Sam Taylor, Mrs. John Stanford, Mrs. R.C. Stevens and Miss Mildred Hughes and many other relatives and friends to mourn his untimely death.
Following funeral services at the church, internment was made in the Friona Cemetery, the funeral prosession of cars being one of the largest ever seen in Friona.
The Star joins the other friends of the deceased in extending sincere symppathy to the bereaved relatives.
